Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"It's a rare treat to get out of the village."

Tsukiki walks outside the village. Sometimes Tsukiki will go out of Konoha to take a walk, such as to the hot spring resorts outside. In his life, he does more than just run a shop. Tsukiki occasionally goes out to enjoy himself.

"What is this?"

Having just finished soaking in the hot springs, Tsukiki was strolling along a forest path when she suddenly spotted a tiny fox, a very, very small fox.

"fox------."

My mind was in turmoil, and suddenly my vision blurred.

The roar of something kept filling my mind.

"what?"

Yue Shu paused, her body swaying slightly.

Shaking his head, Yue Shu's vision gradually cleared.

"The Country of Waves?"

Three words suddenly popped into her memory, and Yue Shu murmured.

"Let's go take a look."

This happened a few days ago.

The small boat moved slowly forward with the current, surrounded by thick fog, making the houses ahead appear and disappear intermittently.

"Is this the Land of Waves? Is this the bridge we're supposed to repair?"

The people of Class Seven sat in the boat, gliding slowly across the misty lake.

"This bridge represents the future and hope of the Land of Waves. I must build this bridge well."

Daz stared intently at the bridge, which was almost completely repaired, his gaze fixed on it, his eyes focused on it with all their light.

This bridge isn't particularly tall or impressive, but despite its size, it carries the weight of a nation's history.

"Don't worry, uncle."

Naruto began to speak.

"This bridge will definitely be connected!"

"Ah."

The small boat reached the shore, and the group finally boarded the Land of Waves.

"Is this the Land of Waves?"

The surrounding scenery could not be described as prosperous; in fact, it should be described as impoverished.

"To be honest, the situation is really not good."

Kakashi also sighed.

"That's why we need that bridge. We can't let that guy Kado succeed, even if it costs us our lives!"

Only through genuine experience can one truly understand what this bridge symbolizes for the Land of Waves.

As they walked, the people around them didn't give Naruto and his group any friendly looks.

"Ignore them, they're just a bunch of cowards who're afraid of dying."

Daz made no attempt to hide his contempt for the people here.

It seems that building bridges is not accepted by the people here. Kado's power is still quite great, almost covering the entire Land of Waves.

"Thank you so much."

"That voice?"

As I walked, a familiar voice came from the side.

Naruto and Sasuke turned their heads away, but Kakashi was the first to turn around.

"Brother Yue Shu."

Kakashi spoke softly, while Naruto shouted the loudest.

"Uncle Moon Tree!"

That's right, Class 7 ran into Tsukiki. Tsukiki, who arrived a little earlier, was being well taken care of by the locals.

"Oh! Naruto and Sasuke, you're here too? What a coincidence."

Yue Shu smiled. He had come based on his intuition, and he hadn't expected to be so lucky.

Why is Uncle Moon Tree here?

Naruto also raised a question.

They smiled and looked at each other for a while, and then went to Daz's house together as a group.

"Alright, alright, time for training!"

Kakashi clapped his hands and started talking shortly after arriving as a guest.

"Keep it up!"

Tsukiki sipped the tea prepared by Daz's daughter and waved to Naruto and the other two. As a non-ninja, he had no need to improve his strength for various reasons.

The special training for Class 7 has officially begun, and the training ground is located on this mountain.

"Okay, first up is climbing trees."

Kakashi himself began to demonstrate. It was rather strange, though Naruto and Sasuke were from prestigious families with many powerful ninjas, they hadn't done basic exercises like climbing trees and wading through water.

"It's that simple. Now it's your turn."

Kakashi casually walked up the tree as if walking on flat ground, then spread his hands and looked at everyone.

"Use chakra to make contact, use chakra to feel, and practice well."

Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance, and flames instantly ignited in their eyes.

"I was the first person to reach the top!"

The two of them shouted as they charged forward, just like before, when they would become competitive whenever they trained together!

The special training for Class Seven began at that moment, and the shouts from the mountain continued to echo into the night.

Chapter 313: Crisis Strikes

"I made a little extra on purpose, just in time for the growth period."

Yue Shu got up exceptionally early today, so she made breakfast and came to check on the training results.

The morning sun wasn't warm; it was even a bit cool. A few rays of sunlight pierced through the trees, making the place look like a painting.

Like a fairyland, every drop of sunlight shines down, making everything crystal clear.

"If a fairy were to appear at this moment, it would truly feel like a story."

Yue Shu said with a smile.

"Well, that's probably impossible."

Yue Shu paused, looking ahead.

Sasuke and Naruto were lying on the grass, and a woman squatted down in front of Naruto. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, revealing a glimpse of her fair skin. Bathed in the perfect sunlight, she looked like a fairy descended from heaven.

When Yue Shu looked over, the other person also noticed her gaze, and their eyes met.

Unbeknownst to Yue Shu, the other party made a subtle move: the reflective kunai was put away.

"Hello."

Tsukiki was the first to greet people.

“My name is Himegami Tsukiki, and I am the uncle of these two children.”

"Hello, I just happened to be picking some herbs when I saw two people lying here, so I came to check it out."

"Is that so? These two children are working very hard."

Tsukiki smiled, and Naruto and Sasuke started to move around at that moment, seemingly about to wake up.

"Then I shall take my leave."

The woman slightly bent over, and thus began her departure.

Wow, breakfast!

Naruto stood up, waved his hands, and ran over. The first thing he saw was the breakfast that Tsuki was carrying.

"Um, if you'd like, would you like some? I'm quite confident in my cooking skills."

"What a beautiful older sister."

The girl looked to be about the same age as Naruto and Sasuke.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

The other person came over, took a sandwich very politely, and then walked away, disappearing into the woods.

Naruto and Sasuke watched each other leave.

"Speaking of which, have you already made arrangements?"

Tsukiki changed the subject, and Naruto immediately jumped in.

"Of course, I've mastered it perfectly, even more so than Sasuke!"

Naruto looked confident, but Sasuke next to him disagreed.

"What did you say?"

"You're such a loser."

It was a familiar sight; Yue Shu had seen this scene for many years.

"Then let's have a match, you mere Sasuke."

"You're such a loser, who's afraid of who!"

Sasuke is most easily provoked, something Naruto has figured out over the years.
